Let me start by saying I am new to flashing custom roms on note/android, Have been doing it on WM based phones for years.
I have a stock GB rom 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA4 that I rooted.
I have been sifting through the forums for a couple of weeks and tried :
a) coming from a rooted GB-ROM:
PASS - download Abyss Kernel 4.2
PASS - put zip-file on your USB-storage
PASS - boot in Recovery
FAIL - Flash Abyss Kernel 4.2!!!
- boot back in recovery (you find this option under 'advanced')
- FullWipe
- Flash ROM
- reboot system
As soon as I select the abbys zip file in my root I get a signature verification failure message
I have read on other similar posts that I need to install CWM, I used the same method to try and install CWM.zip with the same error message.
As I understand it the file needs to be signed with the correct signature for the installed kernel
It's simple. If you have already rooted,
1- Copy the Zimage from your rooted kernel and paste it to SD card of your phone.
2- Flash the Stock kernel via Odin to get rid of Yellow triangle.
3- Flash the Zip file (Zimage) via CWM which you've already pasted in Step 1.

Click to collapse
Would I then put the zimage of my current (stock) rom into the root and reflash the same stock kernel or do I then use a recomended kernel
I do no mind losing all my data if I could I would prefer to format my card and start new
EDIT : Got over my fears and flashed rooted GB and afterwards everything worked

im running [email protected] froyo on my rogers captivate and i tried installing cognitions newest v2.3b6. i do everything it says to do and when i run the install it just goes Not able to verify whole-file signature in the e drive. anyone know anything to help i tried redownloading the rom that didnt work. im using rom mananger to do this not odin
Froyo with 3e recovery can't flash unsigned zips. You need to flash a 2e recovery kernel or rom first.
1. Flash back to stock using Odin one-click.
2. Root (either using SuperOneClick, OCLF, z4root, etc)
3. Copy the Cog zip to your sdcard
3. Use Rom Manager to flash CWM(Clockwork Mod Recovery)
4. Boot into recovery
5. Hit reinstall packages (You may have to do this twice)
6. You should be in CWM. Scroll down to install rom from sdcard, then hit the cog zip, then hit yes.
7. Enjoy Cog!
Okay,
So i have searched, I was on 2.3.3 custom rom, and then i went on to flash Onecosmic's ICS Port Android 4.0.3 RC1, i flashed the kernel first and then from then on i cant go past flash screen. I tried flashing official firmware from here "I9000DXJV9_OLBJV9_DXJV9" but it wont go past flash screen. any help??? Can somebody link me to full official rom with bootloader and everything.??
register at sammobiles.com and find your firmware there, then flash it through ODIN. Then flash your KERNEL then any custom rom. If you find bootloop, you will need to flash a voodoo kernel this gives you other options in CWM to enable you to disable ALL lags. Then you should be fine. You can reflash any other kernel once your all done.

Ok i will try find out a vooddoo kernel, but if you please can link me to it, it will be very easier
Ok i flashed the voodoo kernel and from CWM i disabled the lagfix. And then again i i got the same error, "failed to mount /dbdata" after flashing through odin. And again back to bootloop.
What do i do.
Thankfully i can get into recovery menu. And i tried restoring nand backup but i got an error flashing boot image.
What's the next step
Try this. Remove BOTH external sd card and sim card. Boot to recovery, goto mounts/storage and format sdcard, back to recovery head menu, factory reset/wipe, format cache/format dalvik cache then remove battery, boot to doenload and flash rom agin with odin
Oh, and dont forget to disable ALL lagfixes BEFORE odin flash.
i had the same problem yesterday, what i did is i flashed through odin some 2.2 froyo (3 files) with repartition and the problem was solved; the rom was pre rooted JP3 ; hope it helps you

Ok... from the top - I've done a good amount of flashing custom ROMs (B & N Nook and Captivate) and reading on forums but I'm currently stumped. I can't boot into the ClockworkMod recovery - instead I go to the stock android system recovery <3e>. This has been my complete procedure:
1 - Odin3 one-click downloader and connect phone in downloading... mode, click "start" to go back to stock
2 - odin one click "master clear"
3 - Samsung Kies update to Android 2.2 froyo and then Android 2.3 Gingerbread
4 - One click root
5 - Put .zip of ROM on internal sd root
6 - Odin3 v1.82 load ClockworkMod Recovery .tar
Now here is where I am stuck - I have the most up to date ClockworkMod Recovery but I can't boot into anything but the stock android system recovery <3e> (either through the app or by holding volume up and down and powering on) - where if I change the zip file name to update and try to apply update from sdcard I get an error that the signature verification failed. I'd like to install the latest build of ICS but I am just stuck - any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
You'll need a kernel with the non-3e recovery baked in. You can either flash a Gingerbread kernel with CWM (e.g. Boog's kernel) or flash a stock gingerbread rom with CWM in the kernel.
Ok - thank you. I have downloaded that Heimdall one-click .jar file. However I'm having trouble opening it... I feel really foolish ont his but if I extract the files I see a readme file that says I shouldn't be reading it and I have gone the wrong way. But if I open the unextracted file it tries to open in WinRAR and again non of the files seem like a program file that I can just open and run. Sorry about this...
No problem - just double-click the file. The .jar is an executable file that will install the necessary drivers, open the heimdall program, and get everything ready to flash. Once it's ready and sees your phone in download mode, all you have to do is click flash and it will do the rest.
I have now figured out ICS - I think I had the wrong .zip I was trying to install... Does the ICS allow for overclocking?
Ok - my apologies again for keeping going with this (but my main goal is to get to ICS) with that kernel it wouldn't let me install ICS (but I was able to do the latest CyanogenMod). On the Team Hacksung Wiki page FAQ on Galazy S it looks like CM7 kernels don't work - did the one I installed from the above thread have a CM7 kernel?
Does anyone know of a specific kernel I can use to go from stock 2.3.5 so I can boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and install the ICS zip?
I'm sorry - I needed to update or install Java... Then I needed to install the correct drivers - automatically routed to this through the Heimdall program so it was easy enough (I think this has to do with switching between ODIN and Heimdall). Thank you again so much for the help. Time to give ICS a shot
YouTube ics video I had the same issue boog kerneral with cwm baked in it att boot loaders follow the instructions I'm using works great

Flash back to stock 2.1 which includes the 2e recovery which doesn't have signature checks. With that you can flash a cwm zip and get into the clockworkmod recovery. On the captivate you gotta reinstall the the update zip twice, once to install cwm, the other to actually go into cwm.

I wouldn't recommend flashing back to 2.1, as it is much easier to simply flash a kernel with CWM baked in.
That is also an option, both able to be done with several clicks of a button.

any help?
i try to enter to APPLY SDCARD:UPDATE.ZIP
but have the same error :
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verifcation failed
i have galaxy i9000b
also have the superuser , 2.2.1 froyo and wanna upg to ice cream or anything new
i read i have to change the android systema recovery <3e> to 2e ??
here i found a lynck with 3e-fix-unzip-uninstall
but these is for Captivate and doesn't work for i9000b ?
Yea 3e recovery has a signature check, and clockworkmod zips are not officially "signed." Either flash back to stock 2.1 eclair which has 2e recovery w/o signature checks, or flash a custom kernel with cwm already included, as suggested above. I cannot speak for if the modded 3e recovery will work on an i9000b.

Edit: this 3e mod should work on the i9000b, and has worked great for me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989

Thanks for this link
First, I have a Captivate with 2.1 update1 stock Eclair and has 2e recovery. After trying countless times ( 2 buttons and diff combinations ), I am not able to get in download mode (the phone just reboot into OS) , so Odin and Heimdall methods cant be used; yet I can get into 2e recovery easily. So, I use the old method to flash CWM thru 2e recovery :
1) Do I have to upgrade to GB 2.3.5 rom and bootloader ? or just keep 2.1 and
2) From the temp CWM ,can I flash a permanent CWM over 2e recovery by using modded Corn kernel or so ? or can I just flash any custom ICS/JB ROM and its kernel has CWM recovery ?

Now, as for your questions. 1- Yes, you will have to flash Odin KK4 with bootloaders. Those bootloaders are required to run GB and up.
2- You will have to flash Corn Kernel to get the recovery (cwm) to flash custom ROMs after flashing KK4.
As for your download mode problem, you can try a few different ways; usually it's vol down + power (phone has to be turned off) and don't release until it boots into download. Another option is to buy/make a jig, which will force your device into download mode.
That being said, know that you can get in download mode no matter what ROM/kernel and whatnot you run, recovery and download aren't affected by those.
now I have a new problem, I was able to get into download mode and used the 1click Odin uckk4 to flash. Yet, it failed twice. So, now the phone reboots into the white ATT screen then straight into the new 3e recovery with a lot of error " ccant find E partition , etc. " Help ! :laugh:
PS: I wanna add for whoever got the same mistake, do not use the one click Odin file ( with bootloader, partition, ROM, etc. ) Instead, just flash the BL alone, then the kernel as in the 2nd OP post ; then you ll have the permanent CWM recovery to flash other ROM . I downloaded SlimBean onto external SD card, how can I flash it ? the CWM does not let you pick the ROM from external SD card.

You should have a external sd folder when you hit ''install from sd''. See if it's there. Otherwise, mount your phone under recovery and move SlimBean in your internal.

Any way, I need help so I'll take it from where I can. By the way I'm not a android newbie, just N7000 newbie.
I have been last 8 hours trying to flash a new rom to my new N7000. As I'm on a mac and don want to set the "counter" of N7000, my path was going to CWN from that post.
But I'm stuck, as when I try to do a "update from sdcard" I got a:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
I have tried different downloads in different paths and still the same. I have a VSLB1 original firmware.
Any ideas?
Download Philz kernel (choose the correct one) and flash that through the stock recovery.
I'm up and running....I'll tell how I fix it:
1. I downgrade to an old official firmware trough Odin (just PDA: N7000ZSKJ6_N7000OZSKJ6_TGY.zip)
2. Then I rooted trough GalaxyNoteRoot/runmemac.sh (root apk didn't work)
3. Installed MobileOdinLite (you will need to download MObileODIN FLashKernel N7000 v3.0 => scroll really down on MobileOdinLite post)
4. From MobileOdinLite updated a kernel with CWM (CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LB1-v5.0-CWM5.zip)
5. From CWM installed my desired rom (AllianceROM)
6. Finally, using Odin update the modem (was not working) to XXLT3
Hope this info be useful
